A deep dive into the power of We.

Unity is a central theme in Christianity. The Bible teaches that all believers are united in Christ and are members of one body, the Church. This unity is not based on external factors such as race, social status, or nationality, but on the shared faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

In John 17:21-23, Jesus prays for his followers to be united: “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

This unity is not just a theoretical concept but has practical implications for how Christians live their lives. In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul urges believers to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

Unity among believers is essential for the Church to fulfill its mission of spreading the Gospel and serving others. It requires humility, patience, and love for one another. As Christians strive for unity, they reflect the love and unity of the Trinity and bear witness to the world of God’s love.

Is there anything else you would like to know about this topic? 

I wrote this weeks devotional in 15 seconds. It's true, I asked the Microsoft search engine bing to write a 33 word devotion on unity from a Christian perspective and this was all done for me. I could write in French, Portuguese or with a valley girl accent in just 15 seconds. It us full of should with precise language from the Bible. I wonder if Artificial Intelligence is a Christian?  

Come on Sunday and you will find what AI CANNOT TEACH YOU. How to build honest, authentic, real relationships around you and your family. It will be a deep dive from a personal experience with a God who is there that extends to our entire community. We were all designed by God for such relationships. That is why we all have a vacuum in our hears for a mother figure.  Let's turn “should” into a real experience with Jesus today.  Meet me Sunday at 10:30 am.

Your friend for the rest of my life,
